Makefile:2872: *** The only supported starting compiler version is 3.0.0. You are trying to build with 2.6.2.. Stop.

Awesome

So you can only can get 3.x, if you already have 3.0

The golden rule since a long time ago (but more forced when that Makefile message is introduced) is: previous latest/current stable is the only one supported to build current stable, current stable is the only one supported to build trunk.

But 2.6.4 was a bug fix release and didn't contain new (documented) features.

I didn't think it was appropriate to ask to back-port the correct behavior to 3.0.0.You are of course free to back-port it I can only ask... and did ask and submitted a patch for trunk that got accepted So, basically it was my fault

I have FPC 3.0.0 installed (windows) from official distributed installer, and it came with examples inside examples directory. All the numlib examples seem to have their code duplicated inside the same file.

I'm not sure it's something that is amiss with my particular test setup but perhaps someone else could check/verify ?
